Months of this site not resolving on any browser and now it's back.

What changed I wonder?

Welcome back!  I was forced to rapidly change hosting providers last week as my current provider did some kind of upgrade and broke a lot of things.  I had some band aids in place to try and resolve a lot of things but some issues were still affecting people.

I have no problems from my windows PC but can not get in on any browser from Ipad or Iphon (Safar, Chrome, etc)     Cleared DNS but still nada   
Anyone have ideas?
So frustrating

Not exactly sure what is going on with the tablets, but one thing I noticed was that as I started typing cigargeeks.com, the browser would try and guess the completion of the URL and if I went with what the browser suggested I would get those errors since the URL it was suggesting was bogus (why it is suggesting bad URLS is a whole other question), but if I didn't let it use the one it suggested and continued typing cigargeeks.com and then hit Go, then it would work.  Just shooting in the dark here, but curious if that works for anyone else.

Finally able to login from my wife's computer. Can't seem to get on using my computer or phone.  Keeps telling me to contact the webmaster or clear my cache, but that doesn't seem to be working or I'm doing something wrong.

I can only get on with my wife's laptop too.

So weird... I was able to get on with my phone yesterday, but this morning I can't.  It seems like my phone and computer think that the website isn't secure and not a trusted site.  I've tried reducing my security settings, I've tried deleting my cache, and that still didn't work, so I'm not sure what's going on.  I'm posting this from my wife's laptop again.

I've been unable to access the website for about a week or so, and then today got in with no problems.  It's good to be back.

First time on the new site...woohoo!!  :dancing:

Well I just got on earlier today and after I moved around the site for a bit I got, about 4 clicks worth, I started getting the same unsafe site messages and could not go any further. Now I tried again, four hours later, and cleared the browsing history and cache and cookies and now Im, in again...let's see if it sticks.

I've seen mostly issues with the iphone and it's inconsistent.  In general the PC seems to be accessing it ok, but not perfectly either.

This is the first time it's worked for me, I guess my ISP finally updated its DNS.

Hopefully this has been resolved. 

There was apparently a mismatch with our SSL certificate between IPv4 and IPv6.  Anyway my hosting provider finally figured it out after much pushing.

Thanks all for being patient!

I don't know how I finally made it to the new site. All of a sudden it appeared. So happy, I had given up hope.

Took awhile - maybe just the time for DNS to fully propagate throughout the interwebs but I'm happy to report, I can get on from any device and any browser again

It's different...

Still some issues though

Input/keyboard issues, search isnt happening, cigar review db seems like it's missing quite a bit of data

Yaay!  I'd stopped trying for about 4 days of being able to access, then not, then not some more, then still not.  Keeping my fingers crossed for 2023!

No issues with my phone or my laptop now. Both seem to be working well. Yeah!!!
